Now the novel has many names, there is something called a "market fiction," is writing about workplace life. But it seems not entirely. I read some of them, such as a one called "drifting", and another called "Du Lala Getting Promoted", just like and not like this between. Of course, are the lives of his writing career, but in the narrative, the use of traditional literary perspective, then mixed with too many non-literary factors. So, people have this question: can this novel writing?
If you replace the reader's point of view, then what will happen? I think there will be quite different. It is said that sales of the two novels are more than ten million copies or more 100 000. This is pure literature or pure fiction often sold several thousand copies or 10,000 copies a stark contrast to the situation. Sales of at least shows that such a large audience is welcome such books. This brings us difficult to judge. We believe in fresh, lively, sales in front of us then? Still believe that the cold, stiff, fiction writing ideas and principles?
In fact, in our literary tradition, has always been only on the location, not the location of the reader. Since the 80s of last century stressed the subjectivity of writers, writers say I was writing for himself, not writing for readers. This time China is a huge step forward. Writer and not truly express themselves seen and heard distortion are thinking love the touch and feel the hate, this writer is not too much but too little.
But this brings up another worrying situation: Once the writer's individual expression and spiritual legitimacy and rationality of the confession was improperly magnified the tension between writer and reader presents the relationship. I do not oppose the writer to maintain its independence, I also admit that the tests of literature made tremendous contributions to narrative, but there is not only a literary writer, need a reader. Since ancient times, there are really works of possession of the mountains, but always has its reasons that are hard, at least for contemporary readers do not trust, that the Concert difficult to find, had to wait until the afterlife. This does not constitute the mainstream of literature.
In my view, the vast majority of authors still hope to get the reader writing their own recognition, the more readers, writers, the more pleased. Few writers claim that readers do not need to assert themselves through, I was idle and, of talking, self esteem and self-love, so, very impressive!
I always believed that literature exists for reading. Experts, scholars have the right to be a writer or a work of literary history from the "ignore" out, readers can also read after many years this writer or this work back to life. One of many examples. Real life the same way, writers or literary critic can exclude a number of works for various reasons, that they lack literary or vulgar, but the reader has to pass out our other information. Like "Du Lala Getting Promoted" or "rise and fall" like popular fiction, since so many readers to accept it, love it, how can we ignore the readers of this choice?
Instead, we should study and reflect on that choice contained in the aspirations and needs of readers. Literature is not important what is important is what readers want it! Psychology in the perspective from reading out the subtleties, not only publishers to understand that writers should understand, especially those willing to establish equal relations between the reader writer, in particular, should know.
Alone in terms of literature, I think, things are not as simple as what writers have thought that the more readers, the less literary; and fewer readers, and the more literary. Love and literary readers against it, or literary bias and the readers against it? At the moment I have not yet concluded. However, as I read these novels, the fear can not say that there is no literary. Literature of how much is a problem, how to understand literature, literary home in the literature in what position, it is a problem.
In fact, a lot of very "literary" writer, whose works often lack reality, but many lack the so-called "literary" writers, their works fall show of contemporary Chinese modernity. Like a hot job market is novel, the reader, it's own practical side, but it also a true description of the young white-collar existence in the workplace situation and their emotions and spiritual struggles.
